New Bus Launch in the City Centre

Tue 27/10/15 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Stagecoach will formally reveal the new vehicles to operate on routes 1, 3, 5 and Spring which serve the City Centre.

The bus network will be re-branded with a theme inspired by King Alfred the Great and look unlike any brand seen in Winchester before.
There will be entertainment such as human statues, stilt walkers and daring fire breathers.
Stagecoach will unveil the new buses outside Great Hall with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony. The ceremony will be performed by Sean Woodward, Executive Member for Economy, Transport and Environment and the Mayor of Winchester, Councillor Angela Clear.
The new vehicles incorporate the latest state of the art design & technology for an improved passenger experience. Not only do they operate using the greener engine technology known as ‘euro 6’, but also feature free WiFi, USB charge ports and CCTV.
